Crescendo is one amazing sequel that I was completely blown away with. Becca Fitzpatrick presented many scenes that completely captured my emotions and had them on edge, more so than in Hush, Hush. I become so invested with Crescendo that I couldn't put the book down. I had to know what was going to happen next. Crescendo is one heck of a wild, twisty, had on my emotions on edge ride. When it was over, I wanted to read it again. Honestly, I didn't want it to be over with.

Honestly, I didn't want it to be over with.

I really liked that Crescendo picks up right where Hush, Hush left off, but quickly becomes a lot more complicated for Patch and Nora. We learn more about Nora's dad and the dark secrets from his past that shaped his life, and what ties Patch has to that past life. Then there's Marcie Miller. She's one character I haven't cared for, but getting to know her more, I was able to understand her motives a little more clearly. Vee brings the humor to the more serious scenes, as Nora and Vee can't seem to stay out of trouble. Of course, where ever Nora is, Patch isn't too far away and their chemistry is just as good as it was in Hush, Hush.

I liked getting to know the characters more, as they are perceived much differently in Hush, Hush. Crescendo offers many more complex layers to who they are and what some of their twisted motives are. I will admit, I was so frustrated at one of the characters for part of the book. I wanted to reach into the pages and slap some sense into them, but part me also knew that there was some reason for their actions. That's where the plot twist thickens. Just as I thought I had something figured out, Becca threw something else out that had me guessing again. I liked that, as it kept me emotionally invested with the story. I was so absorbed in the story, that I couldn't stop reading to really think about what was really happening. It's one heck of an emotional ride.

Crescendo gave me more than I had hoped for with it's layered characters, twisted plot and a jaw dropping ending that literally had me going, "No way!" Becca did a brilliant job at thrusting me into her world and leaving me hanging at the very end. I'm really looking forward to next year's release, as I need answers. I highly recommend picking up Crescendo TODAY!! ...more

At first I didn't think I liked Crescendo as much as Hush, Hush, but then it gets moving pretty fast midway through and leaves you with one of the biggest cliffhangers. I kept clicking the 'next page' button to advance but that was it!

Nora and Patch are together again (whether their relationship is you'll have to find out) as Nora discovers some alarming truths about her family and her relationship to the paranormal realm. Vee continues to stick by Nora's side and Marcie has really stepped up h ...more

Nora began to unravel the truth behind everything in her life. The death of his father and the truth about her Nephilim bloodline. Patch became distant to her without a specific reason. Unexpected revelations and revealing secrets causing it to be more exciting and intriguing.

Everything heats up, from Patch and Nora's relationship, the other characters behind the story, tear-jerking drama, great comedic scenes and the intensely ground-breaking revelations and mysteries. That I am sure you won't ...more

this book is the follow up to hushush which was amazing i fell in love with Patch and his bad-boy ways instantly but Nora was a bit annoying at times. In this book, her and Patch break up like five times and the start making out! Apart from that it was a very good follow up and i even think the plot was better than hush hush as it had more twists and revalations etc x
